Why is the Phoenix Suns' mascot a Gorilla?
![]() | there are no gorillas in phoenix... |
![]() | Because it has always been so. |
![]() | there is no clever pun linking the city or the team name to gorilla... |
![]() | I went to see the Pistons play once. They had this polar bear mascot that they borrowed from the hockey team. He was sledding down the aisles. There was a terrific crash. |
![]() | they like help him down the tunnel... and like 10 seconds later... out comes the polar bear all re-juvenated, like |
![]() | it was hilarious. the crowd cheered like the dude was all recovered. |
![]() | but it was a totally different bear. the dude totally wiped out and probably broke a number of bones. |
![]() | Gorilla-suit guy just showed up one day and wouldn't leave. |
![]() | thats your answer to everything |
![]() | yeah, but it's always right |
Answer to the Question: "Where the heck is Foiba, what the hell is going on!?"
![]() | Foiba's on a week-long roadtrip to Vegas from Oklahoma |
![]() | Err... leaving tomorrow |
![]() | I've been killing every other program because they flash up when I'm playing Max Payne |
![]() | and those junkies aren't gonna kung fu themselves |
I showed pants to my old roomate
![]() | And...? |
![]() | and apparently Foiba looks like jeffrey dahmer |
![]() | He does in that picture, yes, but not in reality |
![]() | so pictures don't equal reality? |
![]() | Picture taken with the Gameboy Camera and then resized do not reflect reality |
![]() | so, as a generalization, pictures don't equal reality? |
![]() | Photographs exist in another dimension, a plane of existance neither here nor there, where our souls linger in a permafrozen state of surreality, aching to show themselves to anxious viewers, yet never portraying those beings from whom their birth is creditted. |
![]() | you're so not sexy |
![]() | Its a switch, it can be turned on and off at will. |
![]() | I'm referring to your arguement that because you had a sexy picture, you were in fact sexy |
![]() | Nice try. |
![]() | In reality, I'm far more sexy! |
![]() | man, that was a hanging curveball |
![]() | Worst. Talkshow. Host. Ever. |

![]() | what WHAT WHAT?! |
![]() | This is a very very solid mod. I just recently played through the game, and now I'm doing it all over again. |
![]() | The only problem I've seen is that Max's kung fu is so strong right now that he might accidently kill the person he's supposed to miss in the cutscene. |

![]() | my team? last time I checked I had zero ownership |
![]() | they are the closest.. Niners are your team next year |
![]() | I have never really understood that... |
![]() | I mean, the players and coaches change every year... |
![]() | ... heck, as well as the uniforms... |
![]() | understood what? |
![]() | ... So you're following, what, the owner and the team colors? |
![]() | Why would that get my loyalty? |
![]() | colors change too. Unless Tampa Bay is still orange |
![]() | Owners change to... |
![]() | As well as locations |
![]() | and even names (Ravens, etc.) |
![]() | not the Lions. They're the SAME |
![]() | So why am I supposed to follow a particular team? |
![]() | I follow the teams that entertain me |
![]() | Until they stop entertaining me |
![]() | backwards idahoeans.. don't understand team locality |

![]() | I must say, Virtua Fighter Quest sounds like the crappiest game ever |
![]() | I donno. I've played a lot of bad games |
![]() | maybe its a fighting game RPG |
![]() | Shenmue was originally designed to be a Virtua Fighter RPG, but then it shifted into what Shenmue is right now |
![]() | you play Shenmue 2? |
![]() | Shenmue 2 is incredibly boring. Instead of the sense of freedom of being a guy in a small Japanese town, you're stuck in an unfamiliar place with no money, doing pointless tasks. |
![]() | I watched Clay play it for a few hours, and I spent the whole time trying desperately to get drunk on 3.2 beer, just so I could enjoy the experience a little. |
![]() | Of course, when it came out on X-Box people loved it. |
![]() | thats not very much beer to get drunk on |
![]() | 3.2 percent alcohol |
![]() | then thats a lot of beer to get drunk on |
![]() | the problem is you usually get full before you get drunk. and you pee a lot |
![]() | when I was an undergrad, we would share 30 packs of busch light between 2 people |
![]() | three-point? In Oklahoma, you can only get 6 point beer at the liquor store |

I don't like capes

![]() | Capes perplex me on many levels... there's things to like, things to hate... |
![]() | I think I like capes |
![]() | But I hate when people wear them |
![]() | Its a delicate balance |
![]() | are we talking about superhero type capes, or like everyday capes? |
![]() | Everyday capes |
![]() | oh. only only oddball D&D fucks wear those |
![]() | sorry mom. but they are fucks. |
![]() | I'd concur wholeheartedly. |
![]() | LIGHTNING BOLT! |

![]() | the "Fish out of watre" comedy |

![]() | Have either of you seen Shaolin Soccer? It's from Hong Kong and, goddamn if it's not the best movie I've seen in two years. |
![]() | I can only tolerate so many asian art products |
![]() | its it a kung fu movie? |
![]() | it's about these shaolin kung fu masters who use their super powers to play soccer. Special effects are amazing. |
![]() | what's crazy is there's no fight scenes at all. Their master told them not to fight. But the soccer games are incredible. |
![]() | huh |
![]() | Fat Guy flies 50 feet up in the air, heads it to so dude down the field, then the Iron-Leg Shaolin master nails it in. |
![]() | I've never been big on the kung-fu thing... I mean its neat from time to time, but I really prefer Americanized Action movies |
![]() | eventually, they're kicking the soccer ball in so hard, when the goalie tries to block it, it burns off all his clothes. |
![]() | that sounds like an odd movie indeed |
![]() | Honestly, you'll be on the edge of your seat for the final soccer game, against the "Evil" team. I can't recommend the movie enough. |
![]() | XXX was pretty good... one of the better action flicks |
![]() | i generally watch movies for fun, i like boobies and i like explosions... but at the same time I can appreciate more artistic films, at least, to me, liek say Gattaca, or Pi, both are some of my favorites |
![]() | I am fond of the comedy. Billy Madison is one of my favs |
![]() | but i'll never do the matt thing where I get a bunch of brazillian films just so i can brag about how weird my film collection is |
![]() | I go to movies to be entertained. I've gotten a lot of flak from friends for liking Daredevil and 8-Legged Freaks. But really, I didn't expect my money back. |

![]() | and I saw Jason X three times the opening weekend, once sober. |
![]() | I saw Happy Gilmore opening night. |

So I test drove the Nissan Altima 3.5SE
![]() | The salesman was very curt |
![]() | Kind of got me in and out as fast as he could when he realized I wouldn't be buying today |
![]() | Handles like the Accord, but with a boatload of power |
![]() | In no time I was going way too fast |
![]() | lower build quality |
![]() | I think it would get me lots of speeding tickets |
![]() | The dealer has a special leather package thats just $1200 as opposed to the $3000+ Nissan one |
![]() | Which makes it come in closer to the competitors |
![]() | sounds sketchy |
![]() | The lower safety and lower reliability make it a less appealing option |
![]() | It is the value option of the three |
![]() | Could be very useful for bargaining purposes |
![]() | I've had three poor experiences at that dealership, however |
![]() | the VW guys (they have sales teams, two guys) were so cool, I'm tempted to go back and hang out |

![]() | One of Tycho's finest posts |
![]() | PA has something other than comics? |
Well I test-drove the Passat and Accord today...
![]() | and? |
![]() | the accord was first |
![]() | the accord has power seats, dual-climate automatic control, the V-6, and a neater climate/radio control panel |
![]() | driving the accord was in one word, "effortless" |
![]() | very "easy" |
![]() | it almost felt as though I wasn't actually driving anything |
![]() | good power off the line, but compared to the Infiniti I30 I've driven lately, not as much |
![]() | very quiet engine |
![]() | Very smooth shifting |
![]() | Comes in a very nice gray |
![]() | Sound system was a little tinny in the treble |
![]() | Wouldn't move in idle, when you let up the brake the car wouldn't move, you had to give it gas |
![]() | the throttle was a bit too sensitive at the beginning of acceleration, and then had a big deadspot in the middle of the pedal's travel |
![]() | bigger backseat |
![]() | ceiling glasses case |
![]() | shorter warranty on the accord (36 months) |
![]() | then the passat |
![]() | the GLS 1.8T Automatic (the accord was an EX V-6) |
![]() | the passat lacked the power seats (I figure this is something I would use once: the first time I get in the car...), dual-climate automatic control, and very plain radio display |
![]() | comes with four years of AAA, and the better warranty (60 months) |
![]() | tons of little features, one of my favorite is the 2nd firewall in the engine compartment where the brake fluid and battery are near the driver instead of at the front of the car, so in an accident they aren't the first thing you lose |
![]() | for driving, the passat 1.8T has a Tiptronic transmission, which means that at anytime, you can move the gear selector over a bit and then use it as an automatic manual... (you press it forward to shift up, backwards to shift down), which is very neat and very useful without the hassle of a normal manual transmission |
![]() | the passat was much more firm on the road, as well as steering |
![]() | the turbo kicks in very early, and i had a hard time accelerating off the line smoothly |
![]() | but i think it something I just need to get used to |
![]() | for off-the-line acceleration, the passat was really lacking serious oomph that the accord or I30 had |
![]() | that push you to the back of your seat action |
![]() | I liked the throttle and brake pedal response on the passat much more |
![]() | I hate power seats |
![]() | i thought they were fun |
![]() | so, I would consider that a passat advantage |
![]() | dunno how useful they were.. |
![]() | I would agree that the passat is difficult to accelerate off the line |
![]() | but the acceleration is pretty good |
![]() | it was an all-or-nothing thing, it seemed |
![]() | you get used to it.. and if you use the tiptronic, your control is even better |
![]() | I drive the passat like a sports car... its very fun |
![]() | its even funnier because its a wagon you're driving like a sports car |
![]() | although the accord is capable |
![]() | accord probably has better gas mileage in practice |
![]() | identical on the stickers |
![]() | note the "in practice" |
![]() | I like the simplicity of the passat's climate control |
![]() | I'm not sure if I would go with gray or black leather with the Blue Anthracite exterior |
![]() | black is easier to keep clean. If the dealer has one in stock, go with that one, and bargain him down |
![]() | They had just sold both of their Blue Anthracite's on Sunday |
![]() | the dealership i was at also owns the Santa Monica one, which was the top VW dealer in the US for the last two months, so they have plenty up there |
![]() | oh yeah, the bass response on the passat's monsoon system seemed a bit off |
![]() | btw, the passat and accord have virtually identical gas mileage, safety, reliability, and resell value |
![]() | accord has 6-CD, passat is 1 |
![]() | go with black! |
![]() | ok |
![]() | Accord is probably going to be more reliable |
![]() | VW claims they are ranked as more reliable |
![]() | haven't found a good place to verify it |
![]() | yeah, well... Honda has very good track record |
![]() | I also dislike cd changers |
![]() | oh, and my dad said if I get a nissan, he'll disown me |
![]() | in case you are considering having kids anytime soon, renae claims the passat holds 3 full size car seats in the back seat |
![]() | I am not having 3 kids anytime soon |
![]() | well, sometimes shit happens |
![]() | oh is that right? is there going to be a little TONY SMASH! in October or November? |
![]() | not that I know of! |
![]() | so, which way you leaning? |
![]() | passat |
![]() | i love its styling and little features |
![]() | comes in at about a grand more |
![]() | its suprisingly fun to drive |
![]() | aye |
![]() | the VW saleman was a cool guy, honda put their female salesman on me |
| (demigod2k) | was she hot? |
![]() | silence, foolio |
![]() | that last line brings it all together. |
![]() | how can a monkey be a spy? |
![]() | well, he obviously wasn't a very good one |
![]() | that Koko the monkey did sign language... maybe its possible |

![]() | or maybe it was just the beginning |
![]() | maybe H'Angus is the latest one |
Accidently
![]() | and i'm campaigning for "Accidently" to be an alternate spelling for "Accidentally" |
![]() | because, honestly. |
![]() | i really hate people on the internet who use "prolly" |
![]() | yeah, but "accidently" is on par with "wanna" for appropriate abbreviations |
![]() | i use "wanna" "lemme" "gimme" and "dunno" relatively often |
![]() | lemme fix that |
![]() | gimme a sec |
![]() | i dunno about that |
![]() | but I never say them |
![]() | i might start spelling it accident`ly, just so people stop bitching |
![]() | I just type them |
![]() | i'm also want ` to be the same as ' |
![]() | ` is so much harsher |
![]() | it verges on painful |
![]() | and so much easier to type |
![]() | not accidently hitting Enter |
![]() | accident`ly |
![]() | well watch out using ` twice in a comment, its the Pants mark-up for strikethrough |
![]() | `accidently |
![]() | you just had to tempt fate didn't you... |
![]() | you can lead a horse to water, but you can't take the jungle out of the monkey |
![]() | if by "jungle" you mean "over-use of single-quotes", and by "monkey" you mean "lame-o blogger" |
![]() | if by "I think I know what I'm talking about," you mean, "The thing (`) under the tilde key isn't a single quote (')" and by "lame-o blogger," you mean, "rockstar." |
![]() | then what the heck is it, rockstar? |
![]() | ... |
![]() | I think "the thing under the tilde key" is perfectly suitable. Can't we let God sort it out? |
![]() | The Internet calls them "single forward quotes" or "tickmarks" |
![]() | IBM calls it a Grave accent, but they also typo'd "quote" as "quite" earlier in their table |
![]() | ah, good old "letting God sort it out." |
![]() | also since there is no forward double quote, the "single" can be dropped from its name, and simply referred to as "forward quote" |
![]() | Nevertheless, of the options available, I think the common man would be most easily able to identify it using the name... |
![]() | uh... |
![]() | Hell most people don't know what a tilde is |
![]() | The God-Sorting Key |
![]() | When I say "gimme," I actually just pronounce it "gim" and no one ever notices. |
![]() | the "grave" accent is the french name for it |
Pants idea
![]() | Comment statistics |
![]() | average length of thread, average length of comment |
![]() | who uses biggest words |
![]() | who has shortest linse |
![]() | most monologues |
![]() | <---- and, obviously, who's the most sexy |
![]() | also an idea: a @re-enact command, that would capture the previous number of lines to a thread |
![]() | <---- Hair. That is combed. |
![]() | for when we make a great conversation but forget to log it |
![]() | Combs?! |
![]() | I haven't used a comb in like 12 years |
![]() | I think that picture was the last time I used a comb. |
Random Thought: Conan is the Lowtax of TV
![]() | or vice-versa (Lowtax is the Conan of the Internet) |
![]() | Conan > Lowtax, so Lowtax would have to be the Conan of the Internet |
Does it reveal something about our subconcious selves...
![]() | ... that we have Angry and Sad, but not Happy? |
![]() | I assumed our normal icons were happy. |
![]() | I'm kinda smiling. |
![]() | me too |
![]() | Thats what I thought too |
![]() | We're all happy-go-lucky optimists at heart? Is that what is revealed? |
![]() | yes |
![]() | mmmm blog psychology |
![]() | speaking of, Blumchen is pretty cool, but I'm oddly disturbed by the Sesame Stret song where all the muppets are yelling at me in German. |
![]() | that's kinda how I feel about blogs. |
![]() | i love that song |
![]() | although i really sholdn't |
![]() | Blumchen is marketed to 11 and 12 year old girls in germany |
![]() | yeah, and the internet is great too. But when folks post their stupid angsty bullshit on the internet for us to read, I feel like German Muppets are talking to me. |
![]() | ... |
![]() | I kinda understand what motivates them, but I don't really want to |
![]() | (I'm mainly thinking of my housemate, who has the most pathetic blog I've ever seen) |
![]() | good old bear. |
![]() | the bear should have realized the nukes could be used for warmth |
![]() | He's just a bear. |
![]() | this is the storyline for a rarely performed Weezer Cover Band song, btw |
![]() | Isn't Afghanistan a desert? |
![]() | Deserts get cold at night |
![]() | Deserts aren't the only ones.. |
![]() | "I'm just a bear and it's so cold outside. Hey, I'm a bear and I wanna go to sleep. Fuck this Cold War and these atomic weapons. Give me some vodka so I can go to sleep." |
![]() | A bear could really take in a lot of vodka... |
![]() | yes |
![]() | Google has no idea |
![]() | much |
![]() | ask jeeves |
![]() | No, he's a pinko |
![]() | Tony, could you out-drink a bear? |
![]() | back in your prime |
![]() | no |
![]() | Dude, the bear totally owned the Japanese guy in the hot-dog eating competition on FOX. |
![]() | Bear was done and looking for more by the time the Japanese guy was halfway through. |
![]() | we need more TV shows called "Bears Vs. Japs" |
![]() | Japanese Guy had a look of total fear on his face when he saw that bear looking at him. For one, he'd shamed his country. For two, he wasn't sure if that bear was looking at him or his plate of hot dogs. |
![]() | At this rate, they're going to have to rename it Shamesylvania |
![]() | or Seppuku-chan-KAWAII >.< |
![]() | sorry, that's, like, all the Japanese I know |
![]() | NO!!! |
![]() | those Japenese-style emoticons make me cry |
![]() | I really don't see why greater than period less than is anything |
![]() | Dude, I have to deal with Japanese people and American people talking Japanese around me all the time |
![]() | I finally taught the Japanese the "talky-talky" hand-motion to show I wasn't amused. |
![]() | I used to, when i attended Tokyo University, a.k.a. graduate courses... I was wholeheartedly sick of it very quickly |
![]() | When people start doing it around me, I just shout out all the Japanese words I know really loud: "SAYONARA KAWAII WHISKEY-CHAN SAYONARA" |
![]() | (This only works well when drunk and on the way to Toys R Us) |
![]() | yeah, you're definitely living life too easily |
![]() | It happens. |
Uplink: Hacker Elite ships - Uplink: Hacker Elite News for PC at GameSpot
![]() | I always love to hear about games where you play a hacker |
![]() | Check out the realism in these screenshots |
![]() | Nice IPs... |
![]() | in that screenshot, the quote on the right for your mission: "The man below is living too easily. Change his Personal Status to read Deceased" |
![]() | Living too easily? |
![]() | I think Foiba and I have been doing that for a while... |
![]() | apparently the entire Internet is routed through Ayer's Rock |
![]() | I prefer depictions of hacking where how good you are simply depends on how fast you can type. |
![]() | nor did I realize there was a direct backbone connection between New York City, USA and Caleta Tortel, Chile |
![]() | This game only passes mustard if you fight boss battles by mashing the keyboard. |
![]() | I really gotta get me one of those 900.255.255.255 IPs |
![]() | the 900 IPs are for porn |
Diana Taurasi is very unusual looking
![]() | Images |
![]() | I will concur with you, Tony |
![]() | her head is diamond shaped |
![]() | she needs some bangs, or something |
![]() | yeah, good point, that forehead is a mile if its an inch |
![]() | I love that expression |
![]() | Been waiting to work that construction in |
![]() | like with a hat, she looks fairly normal |
![]() | but with those scissors she looks pretty darn scary |
![]() | she has really tiny eyebrows |
![]() | I believe those are pencilled in |
![]() | as is the style |
![]() | i find that style to be stupid |
![]() | then don't fricking pencil yours in! |
![]() | ok :( |
Just a thought: Starr Jones and Al Roker
![]() | is that the whole thought? |
![]() | its the start of a thought |
![]() | oh |
![]() | i know there's a punchline in it |
![]() | well, go on and keep us hanging |
![]() | but I don't want to sound too offensive |
![]() | they seem so alike |
![]() | i can't stand eitehr of them and they're both fat |
![]() | but they act like they're not |
![]() | have you been watching The View? |
![]() | coudl some sort of superhuman annoyance be created from their spawn? |
![]() | no, she was on Leno a few weeks ago and I just saw her in a commericial for some girly crap |
![]() | I thought it was "star" jones |
![]() | Hmm, Googlefight says you're right |
![]() | ugh, do people actually watch The View? |
![]() | you mean its a real show?! |
![]() | alas, yes |
![]() | i thought it was just a mythical show created as an example of horribleness |

bulls beat lakers... WHAAAA?
![]() | its 1993! |
![]() | no kidding |
![]() | why are the pacers such bullies? |
![]() | the fallout from the old pistons drifted down to indiana |
![]() | no shit |
![]() | the bad boys were fun to watch though |
You get your copy of duud up and running yet, Foiba?
![]() | The dude says he'll get working on it tomorrow. We're gonna make duud and TAL-BOT fight it out. |
![]() | When Mega-Hal bots fight, massive corruption of their brains occurs |
![]() | so store them before hand, and restore them when you're done with your little duel |
![]() | swell advice |
What happens when the current trend continues and in ten years, and every college is ineligible for post-season play?
![]() | Or maybe like, just one team isn't suspended |
![]() | So they're automatically national champions by default |
![]() | What happens? I start playing college basketball, and COME HOME A HERO |
![]() | I think my eligibility is gone... |
